- ===== Function Help - [J]oin a Conference ===========================
-
- This function allows you to join a conference currently supported by
- the board.
-
- If you are not a registered member of the conference you select, you
- will be so advised and returned to the main menu. If you wish to
- join a conference, you must leave a comment for the SYSOP stating the
- reason(s) you wish to join.
-
- Upon entering a conference, you are provided a unique file download
- security which allows you to download files that are specific to the
- conference users. General board users may not download these files.
- You are also provided with specific conference bulletins and a private
- conference message section that contains messages specifically for
- conference members.
-
- If you are registered in more than one conference, you may change to
- the other(s) at will. You do not need to [A]bandon the conference
- you are presently in.
-
- You can enter a conference using a stacked command. For example, if
- you were a registered user of conference #1, the stacked command
- would be "J;1" - without the quotes.
-
- Once in a conference, you can select the [B]ulletin option to read
- bulletins which are specific to that conference. Also, you will be
- provided two additional file directories which contain files that are
- unique or specific to that conference. Files listed in the conference
- directories can only be downloaded by registered conference members.
-
- The message section of the conference contains messages that only
- conference members can read. You still have the option of making
- a message secure in a conference by directing it to a specific user
- and indicating [R]eceiver security. However, the conference message
- section is intended to be for open exchange of ideas between members.
- If you want to leave a private message for an individual, it is best
- to place it in the main part of the board so that the individual it
- is addressed to will be sure and see that it is for him/her when they
- first logon. Since they may not join the conference you left the
- message in, they may not see it otherwise.
